I tried to wait until the sun burned off the moisture from the grass. I thought it would because there was a small breeze when I was hanging out the clothes. No such luck. At 10am, I fired up the mower and went to work. I also cleaned out the extension in back of my shed. I had my contractor cut a door I had brought from Vineland. It was the correct width but was too long. He cut the door too short and the leaves and debris blew in under the door. I'm glad the mice didn't move in. They may have been there in the winter but I didn't see any signs of them. He also cut the wrong end of the door. It's a paneled door and the top of the frame had a wider area than than the bottom. The idiot cut the bottom and took out part of the panel so there is nothing to hold it up. I put a metal weather strip piece on the bottom and a molding on the top. There were gaps at both top and bottom. I wish I had to skill to do things myself . I can see what needs to be done but doing it is another thing. I even drew a chalkline where I wanted it cut. The metal weather strip should hold it but I will put a couple braces on the frame and panel. I also have to paint the molding.
Everything inside was dirty so I had to hose it all down. By afternoon, the sun was nice and hot so it all dried quickly. I had put things in there when hurricane Sandy was coming. My electric bar-b-que, some trashcans and Danny's dog house. I had a piece of vinyl I was going to put on the floor but it is ruined.
I got cleaned up and went to our family's Father's Day Celebration for my brother, Rick, my nephew, Rick, and my nephew by marriage, Ed. There were 15 of us. We went to Schaefer's Canal House. It opened last year and some told me it was very expensive so I never went. It turned out to be very reasonable. More so than the two other waterfront restaurants in town. Schaefers is on the north side of the canal and has a different view than the south side where I live. We had a nice view of the canal, the bridge, and the marina.
